The Women’s Programme (WP) is an exciting movement. The British Pakistan Foundation hosts events for professional women on a platform where support, skills and stories define a new way of engagement. From banking and finance to fashion and art, the Women’s Programme is made up of experts, senior professionals and women at the top of their game across the spectrum of industry sectors; these inspirational voices create and encourage a powerful narrative where historically, there have been no voices. The stories and experiences shared amongst the network are often found to be unique and invaluable, particularly to members of our Young Professionals Programme entering the job market.

The Women’s Programme aims to continuously engage and provide support to British Pakistani women, and build on the platform with ideas exchange and peer-to-peer support and achieve this through seminars, workshops, intimate round-table gatherings and formal dinners. Members of the Women’s Programme also provide mentoring to our Young Professionals Programme, creating the cycle of skills sharing, giving and encouragement for our young members to become successful and empowered future leaders and receive long-term support.
